Title: Message Foundry Multiple Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Message Foundry is reportedly prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

An HTML injection vulnerability was reported that can be exploited by submitting a value for the "NAME" input field that contains HTML and script code. This could permit execution of hostile HTML and script code in the security context of the site hosting the software. Possible attacks include steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users. The attacker will also be able to control how some parts of the site are rendered to other users.

The software is also reported to store the administrative password in plaintext in the MF.ini file. Local attackers with read access to this file may potentially gain unauthorized access to Message Foundry as an administrative user.

An additional issue has been reported that may permit an attacker to change another user's password if they are in the say public or private area of an affected site. This can be exploited by supplying the victim's username in the "New Login ID" field of the "Edit Profile" section in addition to the password the attacker wishes to set.

Affected Products:

  • Application Foundry Message Foundry 2.75.0.0003
